CAVARADOSSI, Tosca


Patrick Miller...won the audience's empathy for his convincing portrayal of Cavaradossi. Miller was especially radiant on his solo hymn to liberty in the second act and in the Act III tenor aria E lucevan le stelle, in which his acting, combined with clarity and beauty of voice, conveyed all the anguish of remembered first love.

Miller...portrays Lensky with a raw honesty that will bring the viewer to absolute tears.

ALFREDO, La Traviata:

Patrick Miller showed more moxie in his portrayal of Alfredo. He projected a sturdy, virile, attractive voice, youthful but substantial. More important, he used his voice to etch his character- most notably in the second scene of Act II, where his clipped articulation and edgy, slightly cold vocal color effectively conveyed Alfredo's feeling of betrayal.

- San Antonio Express-News
